Nadia and Kaye Disaster Chef recipes

Nadia and Kaye Disaster Chef is Nadia Sawalha and Kaye Adams' joint cookbook and we love their delicious and simple recipes!

The idea for the cookbook came from their hit YouTube series, where MasterChef-winner Nadia – who’s unsurprisingly very good at cooking – often gets frustrated with her best friend Kaye’s kitchen mishaps.

Speaking about the cookbook when they announced the launch, Nadia said: ‘We’re really excited, ‘I’m going to be basically helping Kaye cook and the book is going to be very much along the lines of our whole social media presence.’

Kaye added: ‘I do love food and there are a lot of people out there like me who struggle who are not natural cooks… Nadia is a natural cook so she’s going to teach me something and we’re going to get some easy recipes for all you fellow disaster chefs out there.’

With hilarious commentary from the two TV presenters throughout the recipes, it’s easy to feel they’re in the kitchen with you while you’re whipping up their recipes.

One of our favourites from the book is the incredible gin and tonic cake. This lemony bake is the perfect treat for afternoon with friend out in the garden, especially if you make a few G&Ts to go with it.

You can also find an easier version of the Spanish classic Paella, which they aptly named Pretend Paella and is ready in just 30 mins – can you believe it?!

For dessert, Nadia and Kaye Disaster Chef recipes also include a lovely Pavlova, with a soft, marshmallowy middle and topped with plenty of fresh fruit – the ideal summer dessert!
